As Gene reported, Boss has released the new software update for the BR-1600. It's on Boss' Japan site in english, it usually takes a few days before the US site gets updated.

BOSS's BR-1600CD 16-track recorder is now expanding with a Version 2
upgrade. Offering eight XLR inputs for simultaneous recording,
effects, and backing tracks, the BR-1600CD with Version 2 upgrade
(free for all previous BR-1600 units) improves and adds to the
existing effects, including COSM bass amp models from the GT6B,
enhanced vocal tools, MIDI sync capability, and more. Also new to
Version 2 -- the BR-1600CD can read BR-1200CD/1180CD song data, no
conversion process necessary.
Two types of bass-amp models were provided in the original BR-1600CD.
Now, in Version 2, six COSM models have been added, bringing the
total to eight. Also new to Version 2 are COSM-powered
overdrive/distortion effects derived from the GT-6B, plus Octave,
Defretter, 2x2 Chorus, Humanizer, Vibrato, Enhancer, Slow Gear, and
Ring Modulator effects. In Version 2, the order/routing of FX
algorithms can be freely modified.
Fix pitch, add harmony tracks -- these essential tools have been part
of the BR-1600's feature set since its release. With Version 2, the
Vocal Tool Box gets even better with enhanced realtime vocal-pitch
correction that allows you to designate specific editing regions (by
contrast, Version 1's pitch correction was a real time process in
units of semitones). The Harmony Sequence feature has been improved
as well, allowing you to more control over the editing parameters.
New to the BR-1600CD is its ability to synchronize playback or
recording with another BR-1600CD recorder, or MIDI sequencer via
incoming MIDI Time Code (MTC). If you have a friend who owns a BR-
1600CD, for example, the two units can be combined to create a 32-
track recording studio with 16 simultaneous input channels.
